as far as I know you can cut the top off with a bandsaw and go from there to fit an alternative single carb - but wether that was a holley or not I'm not sure (and I've also got a twin SU manifold lol!) maybe worth a wanted ad on roadandclassicmart  - kev |

Almost on the road: b11 sunny breadvan, e36 tds, 325i skidcar,
nearly there: ford f250 tathauler, suzuki alto, u11 bluey
not for a while: ford pop, 32 rails,
not in this lifetime: ruby, '29 hillman

You can cut the top off the su manifold and weld or bolt a new flange to the top. There is only a tiny hole in the bottom from the waterjacket above the core plug in the bottom which usually gets blocked anyway. There are two types of manifold though, one where the waterjacket goes underneath, and one that looks like it goes on top aswell. I've only chopped the one where the waterjacket goes underneath. I think I have some pictures or what I found when I started chopping it up if you want them?

It is messy but like you I didn't know it was possible but this is what I've done to my 0.99p ebay manifold:   I placed a spare holley 600 gasket over the top after I cut the su top off, then chain drilled to remove most of the material. This can all be done with a powerdrill and angle grinder, and when I'm finished, I'll have a flange welded on top, possibly for free. Total cost will probably be less than a pint ;D |

The flange is something else I will fabricate myself. I have been unable to find a cheap readily available flange that is suitable but that does make it easier on the pocket.
